Daphnes are Underworld enemies that debuted in the original Kid Icarus.
Physical appearance[]
In the original Kid Icarus, the Daphne appears as a large, green-and-yellow flower with thorns on the tip of each petal.
In Uprising, it appears as a small flower creature with orange petals on its head, two leaves for arms, and a pair of small legs. Though it initially seems to have a face with blank white eyes, its true face lies hidden within its petals, where it has black eyes attached to blue eyestalks, a gaping hole from which it spews its bombs from, and three blue tendrils underneath.

Kid Icarus[]
“A flower that blooms in the Palace in the Sky. It has been taken over by an evil spirit. It flaps its leaves to fly and its four petals are tipped with poisonous thorns.” |
Appearing in the Palace in the Sky, Daphnes appear in groups of four and fly upwards to ambush their enemies.
Despite its description in the game manual, it does not possess the ability to poison Pit.

Idol Description[]
Daphne[]
Daphnes look like adorable flowers until they attack, revealing their terrifying true faces. They defeat their enemies by scattering explosive "Daphne mines" then move in to gobble up the remains.
Trophy Description[]
These flowery foes from the Kid Icarus series may look adorable, but they'll reveal their repulsive faces and scatter mines everywhere if given the chance. The mines have an impressive blast radius and knock-back. Best to blow them up from a distance. Daphnes themselves have very little health.
